I just made the first steps to integrate the good swapper list into the forum.From now on all nicknames in the goodswapper list that could be matched with usernames in the forum have an extra profile field with number of recommendations.If you are in the list but don't get the new field, please let me know with PM.

Next steps will be a possibility to input new recommendations from within the forum into an internal table which has to be approved by admin every now and then to reflect changes in the userprofiles.

I hope this will make my work easier in the end and give you better access to the swapper info as it is displayed next to each posting.We will consider to make search functions in the future.

A first version of the new integrated recommendation form is available under "Quick links", the old recommendation form is disabled.The "Good swapper list" will not be updated anymore, but it will still be available because not all recommendations in the list can be linked to forum members. One of the reasons might be a nickname on the old euroswapper forum that is different from the new forum.Please let me know if you know about such differences resulting in missing recommendations in the forum.If you have suggestions to make it function better, or look better, just PM.As soon as we could reimplement the national flag extension in the forum we will have country of a member back in the user profile database, and can enhance things.
